MacKenzie Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Some organic red kidney beans grown by a friend. Did an overnight soak started with boiling water and 1 t baking soda. In the morning did a water change and boiled the beans for about 15 mins to get rid of the bean poison. Changed the water and they are ready to go into the chili. Plated and added some shaved smoked cheese. Just after lunch my order of organic black garlic arrived. I wish it had come an hour earlier. Nice taste and texture, it is very moist and a little sticky.:) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5698k Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Mac, after seeing your cooks, I bet your chili with beans is outstanding. That said, have ya ever cooked red beans and rice? http://www.gumbopages.com/food/red-beans.html Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted December 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I have friend that likes his chili over rice and I'm pretty sure it is chili with beans, it is his wife that gave me the beans and she grew them for chili. That recipe you post sounds verrrry good too, thanks.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5698k Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 On thing I do that’s not mentioned in the recipe, I fry the sausage slices until they’re pretty thoroughly cooked, I guess it’s a texture thing, plus it makes the red beans a little less greasy.

Bruce Pearson Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 That chilli looks great Mac. I like that bowl its in! What’s the shelf life of the black garlic? that chilli takes me back when I was a kid. My dad used to make a huge pot of chili on some Sundays and we would eat it during the week. Good memory! Thanks for posting that. Can’t remember if his chili had beans or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the black garlic cloves are almost like gummy bears in texture. I just got my 2nd order of them. I absolutely love them in mashed potatoes! Great suggestion, Robert. Haven't made a batch of red beans and rice in a while and I have both andouille and tasso in the freezer. Maybe Monday (when else? LOL!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 @Bruce Pearson - I kept mine in the refrigerator in the butter compartment for a year (I just looked at my original order in Amazon.) Even though I use it a lot, there was a lot of it in the jar, so it lasted me quite a while and I never noticed any spoilage. @MacKenzie - I chop it up as small as I can (it sticks to knife blades something fierce!) and mix it in with my butter and cream in the sous vide bag. It mashes out well with the potatoes, but does make your mashed potatoes kind of brown in color. Throw in some purple crack and really color things up!

MacKenzie Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Thanks, Tony. Bruce, my jar says it will keep 24 months and after opening keep it in the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
